<p>LOL! So true.</p>
<p>Has anyone received an email newsletter from Oberlin yesterday about the 6 myths of Oberlin? I suspect this may be auspicious one week ahead of notification date…</p>
<p>This makes me so nervous. I’ve not received any such emails… :(</p>
<p>Did anyone of you get an email with a login ID/password to check whether the admission officers received your documents, scores etc?</p>
<p>Other colleges sent that mail, but I did not receive anything from Oberlin.</p>
<p>Thank you.</p>
<p>I didn’t get one of those emails either so I don’t think they’re sending them out.</p>
<p>Wait, what are you guys saying? That those emails don’t actually exist? I have not gotten any of those emails either. Does livemylife think that those saying they recieved those emails are liars?</p>
<p>Shailen, I did not receive any such email. :)</p>
<p>No counting chickens for me. I won’t be surprised at all if I received a rejection letter. Disappointed? Definitely. But not overly surprised.</p>
<p>I did not receive an email with my user id and password. But I did receive the previously mentioned email.</p>
<p>@tynew – I think that people are talking about two different emails. One with the user name and password and the other was a personal one from an admissions people.</p>
<p>Argh, quinoa, it makes me want one so badly. I guess there was nothing special about me!</p>
<p>@Georgeanne</p>
<p>I won’t be worried if you didn’t get one. I’d bet it’s probably because different admissions people are assigned to different people (regions perhaps?) and some are probably more chatty than others.</p>
<p>tynew: I was talking about the email with the login/pwd. I don’t think those exist.</p>
<p>is it likely that they release decisions for internationals via email today?</p>
<p>I hope not. I got my rejection from Colorado today…I dont think I can stand two rejections in a row.</p>
<p>DerDeutscheMann, you are German; did you apply to the highly prestigious American-styled school, Jacobs University Bremen in your home country?</p>
<p>no, unfortunately way too expensive</p>
<p>Well of course people visited, but I know that there is a huge difference between the “should I apply here?” visit and the “can I actually live here for four years” visit. I too wish we had more time for those.</p>
<p>good luck to everyone in your decision making!</p>
<p>@DerDeutscheMann:</p>
<p>Oberlin is more expensive than Jacobs University Bremen. Most private US universities are more expensive in fact.</p>
<p>From which town in Germany are you from by the way?</p>
<p>Of course US Universities are more expensive but on the other hand they offer much more aid than german universities. I will check the jacob uni website again to be up to date though.</p>
<p>Im from Duesseldorf, NRW.</p>
<p>Uh, just found out that Jacob University is need-blind and has generous FA…still there is no theatre or film major offer, so nothing for me…</p>
<p>is decision coming out today?</p>
